Home Security Camera Systems

Well when it comes to the safety of your home and your family who live in there, I don't believe that you can take too many chances or be too vigilant and protective. Sure, you can rely on neighbors and such like to keep a watch on your place and you can reciprocate sort of like a neighborhood lookout scheme, but it still is not enough in my mind.

The more security measures you take out to protect your home and your family, the better, without it looking like you're trying to protect the crown jewels in the process! So you should have at the very least one of the best home security camera systems money can buy and couple that with some good quality outdoor lights. You can place movement sensor activated spotlights at strategic points around the perimeter of your property so that no area is left in darkness and if anything moves that shouldn't move at night, it'll trip one or more of the floodlights and reveal the intruder who will then be captured on camera and recorded on video, or even better DVR.

It also helps to have a dog or two, preferably big ones that will make a big noise if anyone tried to get into your property uninvited.

Well, that's my own personal view anyhow. Some folks may say I go a little overboard sometimes, but think on this:

If a thief were to be patrolling my street and scoping out the properties for easy pickings, which one is he going to choose? The house that lights up like the Las Vegas Strip and has two big dogs wanting to chew out his pants if he so much as goes near the place, or the house a couple doors down with no lights, plenty of shadows to lurk in and no damn dogs to alert the rest of the neighbors to come runnin' and hollerin' and maybe one or two waving guns about in the process!

I rest my case.
